(Stock Code: 3368 & 5936)The board of directors (the 'Board') of Parkson Retail Group Limited (the 'Company') is pleased to announce the unaudited consolidated results of the Company, its subsidiaries, a joint venture and associated companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as the 'Group') for the quarter ended 30 September 2015.
The unaudited quarterly results of the Group are released in conjunction with the announcement of the quarterly results of Parkson Holdings Berhad, the holding company of the Company in Malaysia pursuant to the Bursa Malaysia Main Board Listing Requirements. This announcement is made pursuant to paragraph
13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Total gross sales proceeds ('GSP') for Third Quarter ('3Q2015') decreased by 9.4% to RMB3,945.1 million. GSP for the First Nine Months of The Year ('9M2015') decreased by 4.9% to RMB13,602.0 million.
Same store sales ('SSS') for 9M2015 decreased by 6.3%.
Merchandise gross margin continued to be under pressure and decreased by 1.1% to 17.3% and 1.0% to 16.9% in 3Q2015 and 9M2015 respectively.
The Group incurred a loss before tax of RMB60.9 million for 3Q 2015 and RMB55.1 million for 9M2015. Such loss was mainly attributable to (i) increasingly competitive landscape of the retail sector which has led to drops in both sales and gross profit; (ii) a one-off provision made in the first quarter of 2015 in respect of the arbitral award arising from the disputes on the Beijing Metro City Shopping Plaza's Tenancy Agreement which amounted to RMB140.9 million; and (iii) cost incurred by new business ventures and new stores during their ramp up period.
Without taking into account the aforesaid one-off provision, the Group would have recorded a profit before tax of RMB85.9 million in 9M2015.
